QATAMENIAL SACK.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 282,201, dated July "31; 1883. Application filed November 10,1882. (No model.)

, in Catamenial Sacks, of which the following is a specification.

This invention relates to an improvement in catamenial sacks; and it consists of an elastic waist-belt, having a fixed front piece and a a material, and provided with a buckle, a, by

. hurting the wearer.

movable rear piece suspended from the waistbelt by elastic loops, in combination with an adjustable and removable absorbent pad or bandage that widens from the front toward the rear-end.

In the accompanying drawings, in which like letters refer to like parts, Figure 1 represents a perspective view of my improved catamenial sack, shown as applied to the body. Fig. 2is a perspective view of the sack as detached, and Fig; 3 is a detail top view of the absorbent pad or bandage. T

A represents a waist-belt made of elastic which it may be adjusted to any sized waist; The buckle afis provided with a soft pad, b, so attached to the belt A as to come between the buckle and the body of the wearer and serve as a cushion to prevent the buckle from The belt A is provided with a fixed tapering front piece, B, and with a tapering rear piece, 0, which latter is attached to the rear part of the waist-be1t by means of elastic loops 0 G.

To buttons d at the ends of the tapering suspensionpiecesB and C is attached an absorbent pad or bandage,-D, having button-holes d at eachend. The bandage D may be adjusted higher or lower to fit the wearer, and may be also entirely removed. The elastic loops 0"0 afford a yielding support for the bandage at the back, and prevent undue pressore and strain.

The bandage D is formed of cloth, with a pouch along its main portion, which is filled from front to rear, so as to be narrower be tween the legs and wider at the back, whereby it forms, in connection with the elastic loops, a close fit to the body in walking or sitting, the whole being a simple, inexpensive, and

serviceable bandage, in which the absorbent pad may be easily exchanged, as required, and

which can be worn with ease and comfort.

Having thus described my invention, I claim as new and desire to secure by Letters Patent-- The combination, in a catamenial sack, of an elastic waist-belt, a fixed inelastic supporting front piece attached to said belt, a movable elastic back piece connected to said belt, and an adjustable and removable absorbent pad, substantially as described.

In testimony that I claim the foregoing as my invention I have signed my name in presence of two subscribing witnesses.
